"Victim" lyrics

I greet some tired eyes
The weight upon my feet
Breaks through with every step
Each print a part of me
A life endured and left all behind
I'm scared and I'm empty, barely alive
But all this growing up
Just makes it hard to breathe

Take the measure
Take it twice
Face the pleasure
Every fight
Stand together
Stand in line
But it's gone beyond my needs

Will I always feel like a victim?
Will I always fight on my own?
Am I them or am I lion? Please believe me
As I grow into the shadow of my throne
A king is king alone

I'll toil eternally
So long as I am strong
Enough to hold my glory
Together for them all
As in the days with kindness and cruelty
The weight of the morning dusk still pulls me
And all this work is only half the work I need

Take the measure
Take it twice
Face the pleasure
Every fight
Stand together
Stand in line
But it's gone beyond my needs

Will I always feel like a victim?
Will I always fight on my own?
Am I them or am I lion? Please believe me
As I grow into the shadow of my throne
A king is king

A lonely life awaits my heart
So life divine embrace me
You burden all the higher threats
So wait for something more
I'll take the final step
And destiny's across my path
Sometimes I wish I was nothing at all

I will always feel like a victim
I will always fight on my own
I am them but am I lion, please believe me
I will grow to overshadow any throne
I swear I won't

Always feel like a victim
I will always fight on my own
I am them and am I lion, I will be my own saviour
I will grow to overshadow any throne
I swear I won't
Always feel like a victim
I will always fight on my own
So forgive me these transgressions as I live a life of lessons
And I grow to overshadow darker thrones
This king is king alone
